Starting with the titmouse, seventy-two transformations

Chapter 177 Relics Appear
"boom!"

The heavenly drums sounded, and the earth trembled.

High in the sky, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and torrential rain poured down.

It could drop thousands of feet downwards, with thunder, lightning, strong winds and torrential rain, but it was blocked by a brilliant cloud, with ethereal mist and boundless rosy light.

Further down, the water ripples and sparkles, reflecting the golden light, creating a beautiful contrast with the spectacular scenery above.

Just then, the auspicious aura dispersed, and amidst the surging clouds, something was vaguely hidden within.

This is……

Qingyuan Cave Ruins?
The ruins have been discovered?!

In an instant, all the creatures in the vicinity became restless.

Whether they were human martial artists, Qi cultivators, or demons and monsters, everyone was breathing heavily and restless.

Immortal relics signify methods to achieve immortality, unparalleled treasures, ancient artifacts that can prolong life, transform the body, break through realms, and even…

Become an immortal!

"I see!"

Liu Sheng's gait trembled, his claws flailing wildly, and he suddenly realized:

"The previous martial arts competition, ostensibly to seize a spot, was in reality nothing more than a blood sacrifice!"

The true essence of martial arts, the spirit and will, and the blood and flesh shed during the life-and-death battles of martial artists are offered as sacrifices...

Let the Qingyuan Cave ruins be revealed to the world ahead of schedule!

Is this a tacit understanding among the three parties?
Or is it Xie Bao's scheme?

"boom!"

Just then, a strong wind arose on the distant lake.

One after another, figures rode the waves and rushed straight towards the ruins in mid-air.

The leader, shrouded in demonic wind, draped in a cassock, wearing a golden headband, and covered in thick black fur, with a bear's head and a human body, was none other than the Black Wind King!
At this moment, it looked rather disheveled, with several holes in its robe and a few scorched strands of bear hair on its head.

Obviously, fighting against many enemies alone comes at a price.

In contrast, the demons behind it fared much worse.

Many of them had charred hair, were covered in blood and flesh, and were missing limbs.

As for the human cultivators...

Despite having a numerical advantage and the assistance of spiritual weapons, magical treasures, talismans, and elixirs, casualties still occurred!
Zixiazi, and a Qi Refiner from the Prince of Jin's residence, did not return.

Clearly, he perished on the spot.

This battle, though short in duration, resulted in casualties.

The reason they couldn't continue...

Because the ruins have been revealed!

"remains……"

Liu Sheng's steps were unsteady, and he seemed somewhat restless.

In my perception, there was nothing unusual in the distant sky, and it was no different from the surrounding area.

The ruins of Qingyuan Cave were beyond his perception.

This is the first time this has happened since he received the "Spider Form" talent.

Even a demon-level being like the Six Desires Puppet Spider couldn't sense the exact existence of the Qingyuan Cave ruins...

Perhaps the immortal relics before us do not exist?

Or rather, it doesn't exist in the present world, so why can it be seen by people?

I don't understand!
"Sister..."

At this moment, both the people and the demons on the shore became restless.

Without prior arrangement, they all rushed towards the radiant glow in the lake.

"Master and Senior Sister are injured, what should we do?"

The nuns of Shuiyue Nunnery frowned, and after discovering that their master and senior sister were injured, they all looked at Jinglin.

Previously, it was "she" who turned the tide, saved many fellow disciples, and won the spot to enter the ruins.

"This humble nun does not know either..."

Jinglin's face stiffened, and she was completely flustered, but she quickly regained her composure:

"Let's go to the ruins."

Nonsense, we've fought to the death, so we're bound to go into the ruins.

Liu Sheng silently exclaimed to himself, then manipulated the little nun to ride the waves and blend into the crowd.

"Boom!" Suddenly, the ruins in mid-air trembled violently, the light and mist rippled wildly, and the clouds rolled.

The Black Wind King, who was the first to rush towards the Qingyuan Cave ruins, was actually blasted away by an invisible force.

This monster was incredibly powerful before, fighting against many opponents single-handedly, causing the deaths of two human Qi cultivators!

This time, however, they stumbled and were blocked from entering by the ruins.

"Good heavens, what's the problem? Why won't you let me in?"

Hundreds of feet away, the Black Wind King touched his forehead, which was swollen with a large bump, looking aggrieved.

It refused to believe the evil spirits and immediately charged towards the entrance of Qingyuan Cave again, enveloped in a demonic wind.

This time, it unleashed its full demonic power, crushing the celestial clouds and mist with a "crackling" sound, creating visible ripples.

They clearly used all their strength.

Even a mountain peak would be reduced to ashes by its impact.

but--

Bang!
The next moment, it flew backward at an even faster speed, blood splattering along the way, its robe torn to shreds, crashing into two mountain peaks and a large area of ​​forest before finally coming to a stop, its fate unknown.

At the same time, Dugu Ba and Wu Song, who were rushing in right behind him, were also sent flying by an invisible force.

"...The ruins were revealed through a blood sacrifice, but the time was not yet right, and the barrier has not been broken!"

Xie Bao's eyes flickered, and he spoke:
"We must join forces to break through the barrier before we can enter."

Originally, they used the name of "martial arts competition" and sacrificed the blood of hundreds of martial artists to force the ruins to appear in the world, just to create a time difference and avoid the demon race.

Unexpectedly, all efforts were in vain.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's fight!"

At this moment, the Black Wind King struggled out of the collapsed mountains.

Despite being covered in dust and blood, with the golden headband on his head askew, no one dared to show him any disrespect.

It raised a staff and struck the entrance to the ruins cave.

Other demons also took action, some spitting out fireballs, others unleashing wind blades, creating a fierce demonic wind.

The human cultivators were not to be outdone, unleashing a barrage of swords, talismans, and magical artifacts.

The fighting was so fierce that the earth shook and the turbid waves surged into the sky.

Light and clouds swirled, sounds shook the heavens, strange phenomena appeared, and the weather was ever-changing.

An invisible force pressed down the vast lake surface by several feet, causing the water to surge and the wind to howl, which was quite frightening.

The martial artists and monsters that had charged forward stopped several miles away, their expressions filled with horror.

……

Three hours later.

It was getting dark.

Suddenly, a loud "boom" came from afar.

The auspicious aura and rosy clouds surrounding the ruins shattered with a roar, revealing a cave entrance!

The cave entrance was small, shrouded in a five-colored mist, with three ancient dragon-shaped characters faintly visible above it.

A glimmer of light seeps out from the cave, like a ray of heavenly light shining from another world, ethereal and captivating.

Qingyuan Cave Ruins!
"Shh!"

The next moment, a figure rushed into the crowd while everyone was off guard.

It's Wu Song!
"Damn it!"

Xie Bao cursed loudly and, along with the black-clad man beside him, instantly accelerated and rushed into the cave.

"Whizzing!"

Upon seeing this, the Black Wind King, Lei Zhong, Abbess Jingyue, Prince Jin, and other demons and humans all plunged into the cave and disappeared without a trace.

Soon, all the Qi Refiners in the arena entered the ruins.

By the time the numerous martial artists and spirits arrived, the area was already deserted.

"Jinglin, shall we...go?"

A nun from Shuiyue Nunnery asked a question, her face full of hesitation and uncertainty.

Jingyi followed closely, never leaving her side, her eyes darting around, keeping a close eye on Jinglin.

Liu Sheng manipulated the young nun to observe the dozen or so martial artists and spirits entering the cave unharmed, and then he felt relieved.
"The path of immortality values ​​competition; there is no turning back. Now that the opportunity has arrived at our doorstep, how can we not go? Besides, Master and Senior Sister are inside..."

As he spoke, he manipulated Jinglin, leaping into the Qingyuan Cave.

"Om~"
